"Fuck this fucking GAME!" That was my old roommate, Jeff. The year was 1998, and several hours of minor victories punctuated by repeated brutal death in Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee had just come to a jarring halt. Considering how roughly it was treating him, I never gave the game a chance. At the time, I was having enough trouble combating motion sickness in Thief: The Dark Project, and any more rage just wouldn't have been healthy. Fast forward 12 years, and I see it on Steam for $1.25. How can you resist something like that? Me, I could not. So far, though, it's turning out to be a good decision. The game has aged very well, and even though it's a bit of an ass kicking, the great art direction and the if-I-try-just-one-more-time compulsive gameplay have kept me coming back over and over. I've put about 6 hours into the first 1/4 of the game, and it's been worth every lovely/enraging minute.
